Hi Guys,

I left my site info.
I have enabled CRON in CPanel: */30 * * * * /bin/wget -O /dev/null "https://xxx.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=1";

i have changed domain in cron.php... however this doesn't seems to work :/ can you get a check on why the hell it doesn't work :P and tell me just in case I have to reinstall again
its wget alone... as in the post i copied. its working fine now.

Hi,

When you say "it doesn't work", what do you mean and what indicates that it doesn't work?

Hi,

If manually executing the address on your browser works, this means that the cron on EasySocial's part works.

You will have to investigate on your server level to see if the cron did actually run. There are various aspects to this such as, if the hosting provider allows wget with parameter (we do have some customers that don't allow wget with query parameters), wget path, etc.

Hi,

In this case you will have to consult siteground regarding the path for wget.
